Welcome aboard for another hour of fine Jamaican music where today I’m paying tribute to some recently fallen legends. As sadly in recent weeks, the rocksteady pioneer Hopeton Lewis, the Kingstonian sufferer Jackie Bernard, the ubiquitous percussionist Uzziah ‘Sticky’ Thompson and the dancehall guitarist Noel 'Sowell Radics' Bailey, have all passed away.

Today we’re turning our attention to an American singer songwriter, who’s vocal technique, lyrics and music during the 1960’s had a huge impact on the development of rocksteady as well as later social commentary tunes, as it’s time for the House of Reggae’s Curtis Mayfield Special…
